LOL. The quote you made isn’t Jesus speaking, or even St. Mark, it’s the scribes. It was put in their to demonstrate thier foolishness, yet you quote it as wisdom. You apparently think one should quote the scribes as a source of theology. The full citation:WHy doth this one venture to threads to comment on subjects about which he/she knows nothing?My comment came directly, word for word, from the book of Mark. Not a single syllable of my own invention! Are you claiming that St. Mark knows nothing about forgiveness of sins?
6 But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,So, Onelifetogive, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? We Catholics will stick with Jesus.7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

I agree! Their foolishness was in not realizing that Jesus was God!
